Download Spotify Songs on Android Without Premium

The music download feature in Spotify is exclusive to Premium members and free users can only download podcasts. However, third-party tools like Spotiflyer and Pazu Spotify Converter can help you download Spotify music for offline listening on your Android device, even with a free account.

Note: Spotiflyer is limited to single-track downloads. It doesn’t support downloading entire playlists or albums. So, while it’s a convenient tool for occasional downloads, it’s not ideal for large-scale music transfers.

  1. Download and install the Spotiflyer app from the Google Play Store.
  2. Go to the Spotify song you want to download, tap the three dots > Share, and select “Copy link.”
